The story, tips & photos

While this waffle recipe is not made from scratch, the mix is made with 100% whole grains and packed with 14g of protein per serving (1/2 cup of the mix).

All you need to make this easy waffle recipe is a waffle maker, the waffle mix, water, 1 tablespoon of neutral oil (like vegetable oil) and 4 minutes!

I find it easiest to mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a pouring lip while the waffle maker is warming up. You don’t want to whisk them! Instead, just mix them gently with a spoon or spatula.

Optionally, you can add up to a tablespoon of vanilla extract and some berries to the mix.

Tip: Pour the mixture into the waffle maker and very quickly drop in about 10 blueberries. The whole process of pouring in the mixture and adding the blueberries should not take more than 15 seconds. Then quickly close the waffle maker and flip it to the other side immediately. Set a timer for 4 minutes. At that point, the steaming should be subsiding and the waffle should be ready. You can cook it for up to 5 minutes instead of 4 if you like a crustier, crunchier waffle. Open the waffle maker and gently remove the waffle with a fork or spoon, sliding it onto a plate.
